Story

University rugby club was established in 1888.

The following was written by Sir Colin Maiden in 2006-07 and provides an insight into the development of sporting facilities at Auckland University. Maiden was Vice-chancellor of Auckland University from 1971 to 1994. The playing fields at Merton Road (previously known as University Park) were renamed Colin Maiden Park in 1994 in recognition of Sir Colin's vision in ensuring that sporting facilities are an integral part of a complete tertiary education.

This has built the foundation of the rugby club which has a strong sense of community. The club has produced many greats, and many successful people who have gone on to do great things in life.

Many players leave the club having made life long friends as well as being part of a great network.

The rugby at the club is strong, and the club boasts a very great culture.

Varsity creates successful people.
